  If the BF, LINK, and ACT indicators are all ON on your SMC Networks I/O Systems, it could be due to several reasons. It might be a communication issue, so check the cable and ensure connection to the PROFINET communication. The IO Controller could be defective, so examine that as well. The device name might be incorrect, so verify the device names. Also, the GSD file might not be correct, so double-check the GSD file. Finally, the configuration data sent by the IO Controller might not match the actual layout; in this case, configure the SI unit according to the actual layout.

What to do if the SF indicator is ON on SMC Networks I/O Systems?

  If the SF indicator is ON, it could mean a few things. First, US1 might be below the permissible level (approximately 19.2 VDC), so you should check the power supply. Second, the valve coil or the connected module could have a short circuit, so check the solenoid valve and the module for short circuits, errors, and the layout. Finally, the connected module might have disconnected, so ensure that the module is properly connected.
